Tips on Incorporating Fitness Into Your Life
Posted in Your Health on 20. Sep, 2009
Yep, I’m one of those. I get into my fitness routine, I love it, and then I “get busy” and slack off. I really do enjoy working out, but somehow I let life take charge and suddenly I’m too tired, too spent, and too busy to think about when or how I’m going to make it to the gym.
I know that I could squeeze in time for myself to exercise. I know it’s true in one sense, but in a whole other way I’m at a loss for how to make that work. Yes, I know that theoretically I have naps and after bedtime without my kids to chase after, but aren’t there a hundred other things I need or want to use those precious hours for?
This is a great list of ways to make fitness something that works for your life. My favorite one is the very first suggestion –
“Always schedule workouts and stick to your scheduled time. We take time to schedule vacations and appointments; why should we not do the same with workouts?”
Isn’t that the truth? I love schedules anyway, so writing down “Pilates DVD” on my calendar for a couple days a week during naptime may actually work for me. If it’s on the schedule, I think I’ll be able to get it together more easily. Having this vague desire to exercise “sometime today” isn’t going to motivate me – but seeing it on my planner will.
